Mountain biking up the steep single track twists and hairpin turns of Grand Ridge to Duthie Hill park. The route will include a few runs in Duthie Hill Mountain Bike Park. The return route is as hard if not more difficult than the route up. This is a beautiful area with lots of trees, wetlands, creeks, rocks, and lots of heart-attack climbing. The route will be about 20 miles, but may vary depending upon trail conditions. Allow 3 hours for the ride. The pace will be about 8 mph, but that is deceptive as it is steep climbing. We will try to stay together, but it is hard to get lost. There is no cue sheet or GPS route needed or provided.

Bring everything you need including water, food, tubes, and a chain quick link (trust me on this). There is nothing available on this route. Make sure your bike is in great working order. Mountain bikes only.

Meet at the gravel parking lot on the south side of 634 East Sunset Way and 6th Avenue NE , Issaquah, WA located just south of I-90. Exit 18 I-90 East Bound.
